How to use the online alarm clock
As you finish what you are doing and get ready to leave for rugby training, an alarm for 10:46 pm can keep the collection from slipping your mind. It leaves a useful margin before 11:00 pm for finding your keys, putting on a coat and checking where your child is meeting you.
With the collection time approaching, check where your browser is sending its audio before relying on the alarm. Headphones may still be connected in a bag or another room, so play a brief test and confirm that the sound comes from somewhere you will hear it. Keep the volume clear above nearby conversation or television. This browser alarm will not sound if it is no longer running, so it should not be the sole reminder for collecting your child from rugby training.
The journey to a late-evening rugby collection can feel very different inside an air-conditioned house and outside in lingering heat. At 10:46 pm, check the actual temperature before choosing an extra layer for yourself or your child; a cool room may make the evening seem colder than it is. If the car has been sitting warm, allowing a moment for the air conditioning to settle can also make the trip more comfortable without delaying departure.
Common questions
Can I use this on a phone?
It works in a mobile browser, but phones lock the screen and suspend background tabs far more readily than a laptop does, which can stop the alarm sounding. For anything important, a desktop or a plugged-in laptop is the steadier option.
Does the alarm still work if I close the tab?
No. Everything runs inside this page, so closing the tab — or quitting the browser altogether — ends the countdown there and then. Leaving it open in the background is all it asks, and switching to another tab makes no difference.
What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 10:46 pm?
The tab sleeps along with it and the alarm will not sound on time, if at all. If you are relying on it, change the power settings so the machine stays awake, or keep a phone alarm running as well.
Do I need an account or an app?
Neither. Choose a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs in this browser tab. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is registered, and closing the page leaves nothing behind on the device.
